Summer camping newbie — how do you guys not melt in the tent at night?
I’ve done a decent amount of spring and fall camping but this summer I’m finally committing to a few weekend trips. Problem is, I’m a total wimp when it comes to heat. Last time I tried camping in July I woke up at 3am drenched in sweat feeling like I was sleeping in a sauna. Tent felt like an oven and I spent the rest of the night half-awake and miserable.
I have a decent 3-season tent and a small 12V fan, and I am planning to bring a Bluetti Elite 100 V2 to run the fan overnight and keep my phone and headlamp topped up. I know a fan alone is probably not gonna cut it when it is 95 out, so I am looking for tips from people who actually camp in real summer heat.
So what are your go-to ways to stay cool during summer camping? Thanks in advance, I really want to enjoy summer camping!
